Description of the invention: Field of the invention The present invention relates to a software system, which is published on a wired / wireless Internet website, and especially About content conversion, management tools, and website publishing tools. Know-how With the development of the Internet, HyperText Markup Language (HTML) has become the international standard for defining file formats for sharing and publishing on the Internet. With the advent of HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP), which allows the transfer of HTML files, the first World Wide Web (WWW) environment was successfully architected for the first time. In this environment, ordinary users can use a browser on a personal computer to access HTML documents published on the Internet. With the advent of the World Wide Web, the number of websites has increased significantly in recent years. These sites are hosted by web servers and deliver HTML documents on request. With the increase in the number of websites, website publishing tools have also been developed. The conventional website publishing tools, mainly HTML editors or generators, provide a function to help generate the interconnections between the HTML files that make up the website. The conventional website publishing tools only help users generate static HTML files. They do not provide dynamic processing and conversion of content to HTML files. Therefore, in order to generate dynamic HTML files, a standard referenced as Common Gateway Interface (CGI) 8394pifl-doc / 008 7 is the full Chinese manual No. 90126489. No line correction. This revision date: 2003.11 .25 Website programming interface standards have been published 'and many different types of website programming languages have been developed that follow common gateway interface standards. In addition, the advent of the wireless Internet ’has also introduced standards for file formats other than HTML. The Wireless Application Protocol (WAP) and Wireless Markup Language (WML) published in the Wireless Application Forum are a representative protocol of the wireless Internet and are also defined in A representative standard for file formats on the wireless Internet. In addition, Handheld Devices Markup Language (HDML) and Simplified HTML have also been published on the wireless Internet. Currently, most mobile communication companies adopt these standards.

服務發表伺服器4使用內容儲存庫70來管理內容。 容器74是內容儲存庫70中儲存的一個基本邏輯單元，而 且內容儲存庫70可以儲存一個或多個容器74。容器74可 以儲存在一個具有階層式架構的目錄72中，而且目錄72 可以包括一個或多個子目錄。一個單一容器74，觀念上來 說代表一個邏輯網站的單一虛擬網頁。此外，容器74也 〜個基本單位。換句話說，當容器儲存在檔案 系統中’ 一個單一容器74是以一個單一檔案所存放。當 容器儲存在資料庫系統中，一個單一容器74是以一個單 一貝料庫貝料列（database tuple)所存放。根據本發明，儲 存容器74的儲存體系統可以是像是資料庫或檔案系統的 8394pifl.doc/008 22 571204 爲第90126489號中文全份說明書無劃線修正本 修正日期:2003.11.25 任意架構。 容器74可以接受來自使用者終端機瀏覽器的動態資 料。爲達此功能，容器74可能具有參數物件84。每個參 數的値被設定爲當使用者終端機的瀏覽器在容器74中漫 遊定位(navigate)的一個輸入値。因此，容器74可以接收 參數的數値，並且使用這個數値來產生動態內容。 這些儲存在容器74中的物件，並不受限於在此較佳 實施例中所陳述的各種範例，而且可以由使用此服務發表 伺服器4的服務生產者所延伸應用。以下將詳細說明可以 被基本包括在容器74中的各種物件。 文字物件75代表一個由字元串列所組成的物件，而 且可能包活靜態資料或是動態資料。當包括動態資料時， 文字物件75具有一個來源描述物件83。此外，文字物件 也可以具有一個表示鏈結到其他容器74的目標物件78的 屬性。 來源描述物件83包括用來擷取動態資料的資訊。像 是關連式資料庫15a，檔案系統15b，網站15c，電子郵件 伺服器15d，或是應用程式15e等可以動態產生資料的的 任何媒體，都可以被視爲是可以擷取動態資料的來源。 除此之外，當一個輸入値被傳送到，或是從在來源描 述物件83所描述的資料來源接收到一個輸出値時，輸入 値和/或輸出値就會被轉換。一般描述物件82就是用來表 示這種轉換規則的物件。一般描述物件82包括一個使用 一般描述格式的字元串列轉換表示式。在此，任意形式的 23 8394pifl.doc/008 爲第90126489號中文全份說明書無劃線修正本 修正日期:2〇〇3· 11.25 字元串列都可以被轉換。 單一目標物件78具有一個容器74名稱的屬性，在使 用者選擇一個像是具有目標物件78的文字和表格時，允 許在經由目標物件78指定的容器74上漫遊定位。 影像物件76是一個代表一個位元映像影像(bit map image)的多媒體物件，並且儲存即將顯示在終端機上的影 像檔案的路徑和屬性。除此之外，多媒體物件也包括一個 視訊物件85，一個聲音物件86，和一個音頻物件87。多 媒體物件可能包括靜態資料或動態資料。當多媒體物件包 括靜態資料時，因爲每個終端機可能支持不同的媒體格 式，影像物件76儲存支持個別終端機特性格式的媒體檔 案路徑。當多媒體物件包括動態資料時，因爲媒體會即時 的將動態資料的格式轉換爲適應每個終端機特性的格式， 所以並不需要儲存特定檔案的路徑。 多用途網際網路郵件擴充協定（Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extension，MIME)物件88，表示以郵件形式從電子郵 件伺服器所傳送來的多媒體資料，並且儲存例如像是電子 郵件伺服器位址，使用者登入名稱，和存取電子郵件所需 要的密碼。多用途網際網路郵件擴充協定MIME物件88 包括動態資料。此動態資料可能包括多媒體資料。包括在 動態資料中的媒體資料，可以即時由一個媒體轉換器，轉 換成適合每個終端機特性的格式。 表格物件77表示由欄位和列所組成的資料。如同文 字物件75，表格物件77可能包括靜態資料或動態資料。 8394pifl .doc/008 24 571204 修正日期:2003.11.25 爲第90126489號中文全份說明書無劃線修正本 當表格物件77包括動態資料時，表格物件77具有來源描 述物件83。目標物件78有可能存在表格物件77中相對應 的欄位。 輸入物件79表示一個物件，用來接收由使用者所輸 入的數値。此由使用者所輸入的數値，可以用一個參數的 形式，輸送到一個特定容器74的一個物件中。 選擇物件81由一列的預定値所組成，表示一個物件， 以允許使用者選取一個特定的數値。在輸入物件79中， 在選擇物件81中所選取的數値可以用一個參數的形式， 輸送到一個特定容器74的一個物件中。 表單物件80可以包括一個任意數目的文字物件75， 表格物件77，輸入物件79，影像物件76，和任意次序的 選擇物件81。並且被使用來當做從輸入物件79和選擇物 件81，傳輸數値到特定容器74的媒體。表單物件80具有 目標物件78，用來表示輸入數値傳送到的容器74。此外， 表單物件80也支持HTTP協定的GET和POST傳輸方法。 轉換器物件儲存庫90儲存可延伸式樣單語言 (Extensible Stylesheet Language，XSL)規則，用來將內容儲 存庫70中的容器74所提供的XML轉換成預定的輸出格 式。容器74所提供的XML被分成成兩種形態，一種型態 被傳送到內容轉換模組54，以即時執行內容轉換；而另一 種型態被傳送到內容發表模組57，做爲程式發表。轉換器 物件儲存庫90儲存用來分別轉換兩種XML形態的XSL 規則。在即時內容轉換時，最後的輸出是一種適合使用者 8394pifl.doc/008 25 爲第90126489號中文全份說明書無劃線修正本 修正日期:2003.11.25 終端機的例如像是HTML，WML，或是HDML的文件格 式，所以轉換器物件儲存庫90會儲存各種不同文件格式 的文件轉換規則91(產生HTML，WML，HDML，…等等 的XSL規貝fj)。在程式發表示時，最後的輸出具有一個文 件格式，在此文件格式中，爲了方便起見，表示程式邏輯 的一個特別的標籤會被加入到適合使用者終端機的文件格 式中，所以最後的輸出被參考定義爲pHTML，pWML，和 pHDML，因爲，p，被附力口至[J HTML，WML，和 HDML 上， 以代表此最後的輸出是程式產生的文件。用來產生這些文 件的程式轉換規則92(產生pHTML，pWML，pHDML，… 等等的XSL規則)是儲存在轉換器物件儲存庫90中。此外， 根據各種不同的裝置，程式轉換規則92也可能不同。爲 了支持特定裝置所適用的文件，裝置定型文件93會被儲 存在轉換器物件儲存庫90中。生產者可以直接組合裝置 定型文件93，或是使用生產工具來組合他們。 媒體轉換器儲存庫95儲存轉換器96，97和98，以用 來轉換媒體（影像，音頻，和聲音）內容。轉換器96，97和 98可以用程式或是爪桂類別(Java classes)來完成。 以下將說明服務發表伺服器4的內部架構。 服務發表伺服器4是一個引擎，以整體的產生靜態資 料和動態資料，並且槪括的提供即時資料轉換功能。此資 料轉換功能包括一個多媒體轉換功能，一個程式發表功 能，一個內容操作功能，和一個使用者/公眾和話路網路 管理(user/community and session management)功會巨。 8394pin.doc/008 26 571204 修正日期:2003.11.25 爲第90126489號中文全份說明書無劃線修正本 根據此服務發表伺服器4的即時資料轉換功能，當一 個谷器74的要求由網站伺服器62傳送到一個內容要求應 用程式寫作界面53時，內容要求應用程式寫作界面53傳 达此要求到內谷轉換模組54。此要求包含內容資訊和使用 者終端機資訊。 內容轉換模組54經由一個容器混編映像模組 (container hash map module)52，檢查服務發表伺服器4中 的記憶體是否有所要求的容器。如果在記憶體中並沒有所 要求的容器，容器混編映像模組52經由儲存庫內容管理 器61，從內容儲存庫70中擷取容器，將此容器載入服務 發表伺服器4的記憶體中，並且將此容器轉換爲一個容器 文件物件模組（Document Object Module，D0M)物件 55。此 後，容器文件物件模組物件55提供一個XML格式的文件 給內容轉換模組54。在提供一個XML格式的文件給內容 轉換模組54之前，容器文件物件模組物件55在當需要動

In Figure 3, each service publishing system 47a and 47b can obtain dynamic data not only from the file system and database system 46a, but also from various data sources on the Internet / intranet 46b. And provide the obtained information in real time to users 41 connected via a wired / wireless Internet. FIG. 5 shows the internal structures of the service publishing server 4 and the repository 8. This service publishing server 4 and repository 8 are the main components of a preferred embodiment of a content publishing system that can support real-time integration and processing of multimedia content including dynamic data in accordance with the present invention. The repository 8 includes a content repository 70, a converter object repository 90 ', and a media converter repository 95. The service publishing server 4 uses the content repository 70 to manage content. The container 74 is a basic logical unit stored in the content repository 70, and the content repository 70 may store one or more containers 74. The container 74 may be stored in a directory 72 having a hierarchical structure, and the directory 72 may include one or more sub-directories. A single container 74 conceptually represents a single virtual web page of a logical website. In addition, the container 74 is also a basic unit. In other words, when the container is stored in a file system ', a single container 74 is stored as a single file. When the container is stored in a database system, a single container 74 is stored in a single database tuple. According to the present invention, the storage system of the storage container 74 may be a database or a file system such as 8394pifl.doc / 008 22 571204, which is a complete Chinese manual with no. 90126489. The container 74 can accept dynamic data from the user's terminal browser. To achieve this function, the container 74 may have a parameter object 84. Each parameter 値 is set as an input 当 when the browser of the user terminal navigates in the container 74. Therefore, the container 74 can receive the number of parameters and use this number to generate dynamic content. These objects stored in the container 74 are not limited to the various examples set forth in this preferred embodiment, and can be extended and applied by a service producer using the service publishing server 4. The various items that can be substantially included in the container 74 will be described in detail below. The text object 75 represents an object composed of a string of characters, and may contain static data or dynamic data. When including dynamic data, the text object 75 has a source description object 83. In addition, the text object may have an attribute indicating a target object 78 linked to another container 74. The source description object 83 includes information used to retrieve dynamic data. Any media that can dynamically generate data, such as a connected database 15a, file system 15b, website 15c, email server 15d, or application 15e, can be considered a source that can capture dynamic data. In addition, when an input 値 is transmitted to or an output 値 is received from a data source described in the source description object 83, the input 値 and / or the output 値 are converted. The general description object 82 is an object used to represent such a conversion rule. The general description object 82 includes a character string conversion expression using a general description format. Here, 23 8394pifl.doc / 008 in any form is the complete Chinese manual No. 90126489. Unlined amendment. Date of revision: 20003. 11.25 character strings can be converted. The single target object 78 has a property of the name of the container 74. When the user selects a text and a table with the target object 78, the user is allowed to roam on the container 74 designated by the target object 78. The image object 76 is a multimedia object representing a bit map image, and stores the path and attributes of the image file to be displayed on the terminal. In addition, the multimedia objects also include a video object 85, a sound object 86, and an audio object 87. Multimedia objects may include static or dynamic data. When the multimedia object includes static data, because each terminal may support a different media format, the image object 76 stores a media file path that supports a specific terminal characteristic format. When the multimedia object includes dynamic data, the media will convert the format of the dynamic data to a format suitable for the characteristics of each terminal in real time, so there is no need to store a specific file path. Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extension (MIME) object 88, which represents multimedia data sent from an email server in the form of mail, and stores, for example, an email server address. User login name, and password required to access email. The Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions Protocol MIME object 88 includes dynamic data. This dynamic data may include multimedia data. The media data included in the dynamic data can be instantly converted by a media converter into a format suitable for the characteristics of each terminal. The table object 77 represents data composed of fields and rows. Like the text object 75, the form object 77 may include static data or dynamic data. 8394pifl .doc / 008 24 571204 Date of revision: 2003.11.25 is the complete Chinese manual No. 90126489. Unlined amendment. When the form object 77 includes dynamic data, the form object 77 has a source description object 83. The target object 78 may have a corresponding field in the table object 77. The input object 79 represents an object for receiving data input by the user. The data input by the user can be transferred to an object of a specific container 74 in the form of a parameter. The selection object 81 is composed of a row of predetermined frames, representing an object to allow the user to select a specific data frame. In the input object 79, the data selected in the selection object 81 can be transferred to an object in a specific container 74 in the form of a parameter. The form object 80 may include any number of text objects 75, form objects 77, input objects 79, image objects 76, and selection objects 81 in any order. It is also used as a medium for transmitting data from the input object 79 and the selected object 81 to a specific container 74. The form object 80 has a target object 78, which represents a container 74 to which the input data is transmitted. In addition, the form object 80 also supports the GET and POST transmission methods of the HTTP protocol. The converter object store 90 stores Extensible Stylesheet Language (XSL) rules for converting XML provided by the container 74 in the content store 70 into a predetermined output format. The XML provided by the container 74 is divided into two forms, one type is transmitted to the content conversion module 54 to perform the content conversion in real time; and the other type is transmitted to the content publication module 57 to be published as a program. The Transformer Object Repository 90 stores XSL rules for transforming the two XML forms separately. In the case of real-time content conversion, the final output is a user-friendly 8394pifl.doc / 008 25 full Chinese manual No. 90126489. No line correction. Date of revision: 2003.11.25. Terminals such as HTML, WML, or It is a HDML file format, so the converter object repository 90 stores file conversion rules 91 (to generate XSL rules fj for HTML, WML, HDML, etc.) in various file formats. When the program sends a presentation, the final output has a file format. In this file format, for convenience, a special label representing the program logic will be added to the file format suitable for the user's terminal, so the final The output is referred to as pHTML, pWML, and pHDML, because p is attached to [J HTML, WML, and HDML, to represent that this final output is a program-generated file. The program conversion rules 92 (XSL rules for generating pHTML, pWML, pHDML, ..., etc.) used to generate these files are stored in the converter object repository 90. In addition, the program conversion rules 92 may be different according to different devices. In order to support files applicable to a specific device, the device setting file 93 is stored in the converter object storage 90. The producer can directly combine the device setting files 93, or use production tools to assemble them. The media converter repository 95 stores converters 96, 97, and 98 for converting media (video, audio, and sound) content. Converters 96, 97, and 98 can be implemented using programs or Java classes. The internal structure of the service publishing server 4 will be described below. The service publishing server 4 is an engine that generates static and dynamic data as a whole, and provides real-time data conversion functions in a holistic manner. This data conversion function includes a multimedia conversion function, a program publishing function, a content operation function, and a user / community and session management function. 8394pin.doc / 008 26 571204 Revision date: 2003.11.25 is the complete Chinese manual No. 90126489. No line correction. The real-time data conversion function of server 4 is published according to this service. When 62 is transmitted to a content request application writing interface 53, the content request application writing interface 53 communicates this request to the inner valley conversion module 54. This request includes content information and user terminal information. The content conversion module 54 checks whether the required memory is available in the memory in the service publishing server 4 via a container hash map module 52. If the required container does not exist in the memory, the container hybrid image module 52 retrieves the container from the content repository 70 via the repository content manager 61 and loads the container into the memory of the service publishing server 4 And convert the container into a container Document Object Module (DOM) object 55. Thereafter, the container document object module object 55 provides a document in XML format to the content conversion module 54. Before providing an XML-formatted document to the content conversion module 54, the container document object module object 55 will require a dynamic source integrator 56 when dynamic data is needed to access external dynamic data (relevant techniques have been Published in a patent application (U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60 / 208,544), which was temporarily filed in the United States on June 1, 2000. The container conversion module 54 requests the repository content manager 61 to retrieve the document conversion rules 91 suitable for the user terminal from the converter object repository 90 using the user terminal information contained in the request. Thereafter, the container conversion module 54 uses the file conversion rule 91 provided by the repository content manager 61 and suitable for the user terminal, and converts the container file 27 8394pifl.doc / 008 to the full Chinese manual No. 90126489. None Underline corrections Date of revision: 2003.11.25 XML files provided by Module Object 55. And the converted content (for example, HTML, HDML or WML) is transmitted to the web server 62 for transmission to the device via the content request application writing interface 53. When the XML-formatted document provided by the container document object module object 55 contains images, audio, and video (including images, audio, and video included in MIME), the content conversion module 54 converts this content It is transmitted to the media conversion module 59 together with the user terminal information. The media conversion module 59 retrieves a media converter suitable for the user's terminal from the media converter storage 95 through the repository content manager 61. This content is converted, and the result of this conversion is stored in a specific storage space of the web server 62. After that, the converted content (for example, HTML, HDML, or WML) sent to the web server 62 will be transferred to the converted image, audio, or video file stored in a specific storage space, and then sent to User device. The program publishing function of the service publishing server 4 will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. Please refer to FIG. 6. When a global service producer 106 uses a service development tool 6 as shown in FIG. 1 on his personal computer or workstation 104, a program development request exists. A component-service publishing server 105 will handle this request. The service publishing server 105 performs the same function as the service publishing server 4 in FIG. After that, the content operation application writing interface 51 in the service publishing server 4 will be mixed with the image module 52 via the container to check the service 8394pin.doc / 008 28 571204 Date of revision: 2003.11.25 is the full Chinese manual No. 90126489 The dashed line corrects whether there is a container 74 posted in the memory in the publishing server 4. If there is no container 74 in the recorder, the container hybrid image module 52 retrieves the container 74 from the content repository 70 via the repository content manager 61. This container 74 is loaded into the memory of the service publishing server 4, and this container 74 is converted into a container document object module object 55. Thereafter, the container file object module object 55 provides an XML format file to the content publishing module 57. In the content publishing module 57, except that a part of the dynamic data is generated in the XML format provided by the container file object module object 55 , Will generate a variety of files from static data to adapt to all forms of terminals. Here, the generated file formats, such as pHTML, PWML, and pHDML, include a special label in addition to the file format suitable for each terminal model. This label describes a program used to access dynamic data. . The content publishing module 57 applies the program conversion rule 92 to the XML file provided by the container file object module object 55 to generate a file format suitable for each terminal form. The application conversion rule 92 is obtained from the converter object database file 90 through the repository content manager 61. These files, which have a format suitable for all terminals, are transmitted to the program generation module 58 and published in the form of a complete universal gateway interface program (such as 64 in Figure 5 and 103 in Figure 6). The program is published in the unit of the container 74, and a single container can be published with the number of programs equal to the number of terminal forms. Here, when the web server 62 in FIG. 5 and the web server 100 in FIG. 6 call the published program, 8394pifl.doc / 008 29 is the full Chinese manual No. 90126489. No line correction. : 2003.11.25 In the calling program, the part corresponding to the dynamic data will be called by the dynamic source integrator 56 in real time and integrated into the static data. As in the case of dynamic data, because different media must be converted in real time according to different user devices, no media conversion was performed during the program's publishing period. Therefore, the published program will request the media conversion module 59 to convert the related media. The media conversion module 59 retrieves the media converter 96, 97 or 98 suitable for the user device from the media converter repository 95 via the repository content manager 61, executes the conversion, and stores the conversion result in the web server Special storage space of 62. Later ‘published programs refer to the converted images stored in special storage’ audio and video files and send them to the user. The content operation function of the service publishing server 4 will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 5 and 6. The content operation function allows a content producer (such as the global service producer 106 or the personal content producer 110 in FIG. 6) to perform operations such as modifying, adding, or deleting content. When the content producer is not a general website user, but the entire web service constructor (for example, like a global service producer 106, the content producer will be operated by the container from the service in the service Copy from the repository 102 accessed by the publishing server 101 to a repository as a work space on its personal computer / workstation 104 (this action is defined by referring to checkout (check_out)) ° After 'content production The user uses the service publishing server 105 executed on his personal computer / workstation 104 to operate the copied content. Relatively speaking, when the content producer is a general website user, use the full text of Chinese Manual No. 90126489 via the Internet Institute 8394pifl.doc / 008 30. The web server 100 is a service publishing server ιοί among the services accessed by its personal computer / workstation 109. Regardless of which path the service publishing server uses, content producers can use the content writing application interface 51 in the service publishing server. The content operation application writing interface 51 checks whether there is a container 74 to be operated by the billion server in the service publishing server 4 via the container hybrid image module 52. If there is no container 74 in the memory, the container hybrid image module 52 retrieves the container 74 from the content repository 70 via the repository content manager 61. This container 74 is loaded into the memory of the service publishing server 4, and this container 74 is converted into a container document object module object 55. Thereafter, the content producer modifies or deletes the number of containers converted into containers, document objects, or module objects, or uses the content manipulation application programming interface 51 to generate a new container. When the content of the manipulated container is requested to be stored, the manipulated container object module object 55 is converted into an XML-formatted container and is then stored in the content repository 70. The user / public speech path management function 'of the service publishing server 4 is provided by the user / public speech path manager 60. User / public speech management functions include using the content to manipulate the application writing interface 51 'to check the user or the public's access to specific content, and the content request application writing interface 53 to record the user's Claim.

The service publishing server 150 loads a container 155 with XML 8394pifl.doc / 008 31 as the full Chinese manual no. 90126489. The revision date: 2003.25 is stored in a file in the main memory 151. The XML file loaded into the main memory 151 is parsed and expressed as ~ container file object module object 153 (the container may not be in the form of an XML file, but a parsed document object module Way to store). Therefore, when using the content operation application writing interface 51 to perform operations on the container (such as adding, modifying, or deleting attributes), the container file object module object 153 is directly operated. The mixed image 152 uses an identifier (ID) to access a specific container. The hash image 152 receives an identification code and obtains a container document object module object 153 currently loaded into the main memory 151. When stored, the container file object module object 153 is converted into an XML file (or stored as a container file object module object 153). When a container is manipulated after being converted from XML to a document object module object, the operation becomes easy, and the content can be transformed by directly applying XSL rules to the document object module object. Fig. 8 illustrates a method for encoding a content identification code for discerning the content contained in a container. Basically, all containers can be clearly identified. Each container is identified by a directory path 160 in a repository, which has a container name 161 and its author name 162. In addition, the contents of each container can also be identified with each other. In other words, each container is identified by a string 163a or 163b of a component name and a unique number added to the container identification code. Therefore, in the container document object module object located in the content, based on the component name and only 8394pifl.doc / 008 32 is the full Chinese manual No. 90126489. No line correction. This revision date: 2003.11.25. Nodes of content. Here, the component represents a Document Type Definition (DTD) component, which represents a content defined in the form of XML DTD, and is used to indicate that the container is stored in the form of XML. The unique number indicates a unique number used to determine a container. For example, when a container named "10gin" is created in the directory "/ inetput / wwwroot", a form object will be created in the container, and a text object will be created in the form to identify it. The identifier of the text object can be encoded as follows: / inetput / wwwroot / login + Form # l + Text # 2 By using the encoding method of the content identifier as shown in Figure 8, you can easily access and operate a Individual content. In other words, when a user uses a mixed image 152 as shown in FIG. 7 to modify a text object, a container identifier (for example, / inetput / wwwroot / login) is transmitted to the mixed image 152, and The document object module object corresponding to the container is searched. After that, the file objects contained in the container file object module object will be searched following a path (for example, Form # l + Text # 2). The text objects found through the above methods can be manipulated directly. According to the present invention, the multimedia content including dynamic data can be processed in real time to generate the content of each device, and the service producer can easily publish a program for processing dynamic data without using a universal gateway interface program. Therefore, service producers can use dynamic data from various sources without having to worry about the burden of content conversion according to different types of terminals of users, so they can easily provide complex Internet 8394pifl.doc / 008 33 571204 as No. 90126489 Chinese full manual without line amendment This amendment date: 2003.11 · 25 Road service to users. t Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with preferred embodiments, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person skilled in the art can make minor changes and retouching without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the invention shall be determined by the scope of the attached patent application. 8394pifl.doc / 008 34
